CITY OF NEW BRITAIN ALDERMEN TAX DELINQUENT HALL OF SHAME!
As of March 4, 2009
1. Alderman Lori A. Rocha: $813.78
2. Alderman Rolando “Roy” Centeno: $537.51
3. Alderman Tonilynn Collins: $348.93
4. Alderman Paul D. Catanzaro: $227.72
One thing we all know for sure is that the Democrats on the city council love to spend other people’s money! They love to find ways to raise your taxes and ways to give your hard earned money away to other people, people that they seem to believe deserve your money more than you do, even though you worked hard to earn it. One thing at least four of them doesn’t seem to like doing is paying their own taxes!
The four tax delinquents shown above are on the tax collector’s delinquency list for motor vehicles. Could this be why they were so opposed to the plate finder system that the Chief of Police is using to catch citizens who have delinquent taxes on their cars? Maybe they were afraid of the embarrassment involved in getting caught by the police department’s new plate finder vehicle, so they opposed such a valuable tool that was badly needed to potentially collect millions in unpaid taxes, just to avoid the public finding out that they don’t pay their own taxes.
When your aldermen, who are sworn to uphold the law, don’t pay their taxes, then why should anyone else pay theirs? Maybe that is a question we should all ask these four on Election Day?
Hartford Joins more than 600 National Tea Parties
More than 4,000 people gathered today at the Connecticut State Capitol, joining more than 600 protests in cities across the country.
The tea parties are in protest of the out of control spending by the federal, state and yes even local governments—ridiculous out of control spending of money that we just can’t afford to spend. Pictured is Chris Cassone performing his new song “Take Our Country Back” which he wrote after being inspired by Glenn Beck’s 912 Project. One thing was certain from the crowd today: that the movement to take back control of our country is alive and well, and growing stronger every day.
For example, Susan Kniep, President of the Federation of Connecticut Taxpayers Associations spoke on the need to become more active at all levels of government. She urged everyone to attend their local council meetings and get involved and speak out when the town councils are trying to ram through those municipal budgets, especially when they are trying to increase municipal spending and raise your taxes! The budget process is currently underway here in New Britain, so what better time could there be to get involved?

SHOULD 13 ALDERMEN BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE?
On February 25, in direct violation of the city charter, Alderman Catanzaro spoke against and then voted to reject the bipartisan, unanimous ethics commission ruling which was issued against him by the commission.
Both speaking on and voting on an Alderman’s own issue are both separate violations of the same charter section that provides the penalty of expulsion from the council as the punishment for violation of that section.
Since the other Aldermen swore an oath to uphold the charter of the City of New Britain, does this not violate the oath of their office? Remember this is a blatant violation of the city charter that was committed in their presence, and not only did each of them witness the offense, they participated in it by joining Alderman Catanzaro in voting to reject the unanimous finding of the ethics commission.
Even more incongruous, is that the self proclaimed champion of ethics, Alderman Sherwood, not only witnessed this outrageous defiance of the charter, but also joined his fellow aldermen in voting to ignore the unanimous decision of the city’s ethics commission.
What do you, as a voter, a taxpayer, or a citizen think of this unethical behavior by the council?

East Hartford schools to get $3.8 million in federal funds, What will New Britain Get; Rep. Murphy?
Congressman John Larson just secured $3.8 million in federal funding for the East Hartford School system. If I understand the situation in New Britain correctly, our school board is short about $2 million in funding for this year's budget. Where was Congressman Murphy to get similar funding for New Britain? With the differences in population, Congressman Murphy should have been able to secure at least $7 million for New Britain's school system. Instead, like usual, we get nothing and have to raise your taxes to find the needed funding.
